During the recent Group of Twenty meeting in Rio de Janeiro, significant agreements were reached, as stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
On Tuesday, Lavrov expressed to reporters that the outcome of the G20 summit, held from November 18-19 in Brazil, was “very positive” and highlighted some notable agreements that had been achieved.
Representing Russia at the summit in place of President Vladimir Putin, Lavrov noted in a press conference that “weighty agreements” emerged during the high-level discussions.
He emphasized that summit participants supported the establishment of a new coordinating structure aimed at combating global hunger and poverty. The initiative seeks to accelerate efforts to completely eradicate hunger by 2030, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals.
Lavrov remarked that Russia has “joined the mechanism” and has already initiated several programs intended to assist developing nations and enhance global food security.
He also informed attendees of the G20 summit about Russia’s role as a “reliable and leading global supplier” in terms of food and energy security.
Additionally, Lavrov introduced the Greater Eurasian Partnership initiative, proposed by President Putin, aimed at linking Europe and Asia while ensuring stability and security.
Regarding the G20 summit’s final declaration, Lavrov noted that while the West attempted to focus solely on the “only Ukraine agenda,” this effort “failed” as other countries advocated for the inclusion of additional conflicts.
He stated that Russia ultimately concurred with the G20's final declaration concerning Ukraine, underscoring that “the main thing in it is a call for an honest and reasonable conversation about peace on realistic grounds.”
The 22-page G20 declaration also addresses various issues, including a call for a ceasefire in Gaza, proposals for taxing the super-rich, and discussions surrounding artificial intelligence and gender equality.
